Cleveland Clinic chief on the business of health

A client of mine was kind enough to forward this article/interview with the CEO of the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Delos “Toby” Cosgrove. I am very glad that I read this piece as it hit home with many of the points we try to convey to our clients, prospective clients and anyone else that asks our opinion of Healthcare Reform. I don’t think anyone questions whether we need it -- the question is how to accomplish the goal. I often wonder whether the real issues are being addressed; and so it was refreshing to see that this interview touches on many of the topics on which we need to focus – including healthier lifestyles and greater efficiency among providers -- to help slow increasing healthcare costs. It is also very realistic in that Dr. Cosgrove reminds us that costs are always going to go up, and we can only hope to curtail them. I hope you find the article as informative as I did.
